Parenting is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, vocational, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. The high self-esteem gained will help the boy children to improve their performance in every feel at home and in school. The study was confined to the influence of parenting styles on self-esteem of the boy child within Taita Sub-County of Taita-Taveta County. The participants in this study were consisted of pupils, administrators, and teacher counselors. Additionally, Baumrind, (2012) states that authoritarian parenting is a style of child nurturing that has many demands and rigidness. Authoritarian parents are very strict and expect their orders to be followed without question. This study employed cross-sectional survey design. A cross-sectional research design is a design in which researchers collect data from participants within a single point in time. The cross-sectional survey design was considered appropriate for this study because it allows the researcher to use minimal contact between the researcher and the respondent. The target population consisted of 2600 pupils, 94 administrators and 80 teacher counselors, from within Taita Sub-County. Pupils involved in the exercise were all in the age between 11 years to 14 years. The population of this study was composed of administrators, teacher counselors and pupils. The study concluded from the results, majority of the respondents-172 (70.5%) agreed that their parents are authoritative. A chi-square test revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the authoritative parenting style and self-esteem. A spearman correlation test showed that authoritative parenting style had a 10.7% correlation with self-esteem (rho = 0.107). This implied that a unit increase in authoritative parenting leads to a 10.7% increase in the self-esteem of male pupils in public primary schools. Qualitative analysis revealed that key informants stated the following: 'Authoritative parenting helps the boys have high self-esteem'; 'With authoritative parenting, the male pupils become very good leaders, since they practice what they see from parents'. From the findings, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that stated: authoritative parenting style does not have a statistically significant influence the level of self-esteem of children in primary schools. Therefore, authoritative parenting style influences the self-esteem of male pupils.

Understanding whether there is a relationship between perceived parental authority styles and self-esteem in high school students is the main purpose of the study. In addition, the effects of gender, age, mother's education level, father's education level and family's economic status on perceived parental authority styles and self-esteem were investigated. Whether the variables fit the normal distribution or not was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the variables that did not fit the normal distribution were given with median, minimum and maximum values. "Mann Whitney U" test was used in the analysis of the differences between the two groups, and the "Kruskal Wallis H" test was used for the differences between 3 or more groups. Relationships between variables were analyzed using "Spearman Correlation Coefficient". Statistical analyzes were made using IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 program. Significance level was taken as 0.05. 209 male and 210 female high school students participated in the research. It was observed that the participants defined their family's parent attitudes as highly democratic, medium-level protective-willing, and low-level authoritarian. It was observed that the democratic parental attitude did not have a significant effect on the self-esteem of individuals, and the self-esteem perceptions of the participants with protective-willing and authoritarian parental attitudes were found to be high. There was no significant effect of gender and age factors on the perception of parental attitudes and self-esteem level. It was observed that as the education level of the mother increased, the democratic parental attitude perceived by the participants also increased. There was no significant relationship between mother's education level and selfesteem. It was observed that as the father's education level increased, the perceived democratic parental attitude ratio also increased, but a significant relationship was not found between the father's education level and the participants' self-esteem level. It has been observed that the very high economic level of the family increases the authoritarian parental attitude rate compared to families with medium economic status. It was observed that the self-esteem of the participants with low income level was higher than the participants with middle and high income level. It was determined that the family's economic status did not have a significant effect on protective-willing and democratic parenting attitudes.
